Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 89: No Hope
"Brother Youyuan, why are you so distant from me?" Zhang Dixin smiled and was about to fly towards Gu Xiaoxing.
"Brother Zhang, stop!" Gu Xiaoxing immediately shouted to stop the other party from approaching.
"You...don't come over here!" Even Lu Ling'er was frightened. Looking at the thunder, she felt her scalp tingling.
Zhang Dixin didn't listen, but stepped closer and said, "Hey! You two don't have to worry, there are lightning beads here..."
However, before he could finish his words, Gu Xiaoxing felt several bolts of lightning approaching Zhang Dixin, and immediately shouted, "Ling'er, let's go!"
Looking at the two figures fleeing quickly, Zhang Dixin smiled helplessly and followed behind silently.
Flying in the thundercloud, Gu Xiaoxing was still in shock. Although there were still lightning flashing around him, as a foundation-building cultivator he had spiritual awareness to warn others, so unless he had bad luck he would not be struck by lightning. Thinking back to how Zhang Dixin had been chased and struck by lightning before, he couldn't help but be astonished.
Originally Gu Xiaoxing was thinking about practicing the art of divination, but after seeing this scene, he hesitated!
"A lightning-attracting body... it's too scary!"
As they continued to move forward, it would stand to reason that if it was just a thundercloud, with their speed, Gu Xiaoxing and the others should have passed through the range of the thundercloud long ago. However, this thundercloud seemed to contain a bottomless abyss, which was so deep that the bottom was unobstructed. The deeper they went, the denser the thunder and lightning in the thundercloud became, and they gradually needed to concentrate their spiritual consciousness to deal with and dodge them with all their strength.
And at a distance behind Gu Xiaoxing, a figure flew by, as if a small thunderstorm was coming.
"Damn it, this is a lightning-attracting body. Someone from the Tianji Sect has come in. Let him pass!"
"Ah...!" Someone screamed, as if he was struck by lightning.
"Brother Youyuan, wait for me!" Zhang Dixin waved his hand in the small thunderstorm.
"Help!" Lu Linger screamed, and hurriedly said, "Little brother, run!"
Gu Xiaoxing and the little girl ran for their lives, and after passing through a hazy cloud, they suddenly came to another world. They were no longer surrounded by thunderclouds, but a chaotic space, or like an ancient battlefield. Even after countless years, it was still filled with a violent and murderous atmosphere.
There were all kinds of things floating in the void, including ruined wasteland, broken palaces, and even faintly visible floating ancient corpses.
Overhead, dark clouds pressed down the sky, and from time to time, thunders descended from the dark clouds and cut through the void. In the Thunder Cloud Sky, the people of the Body Refining Sect only knew that there were five levels of heaven, and as for whether there was a sixth level or more, no one knew!
Because they have never been to such a high place!
Now it is only the first heaven. If you pass through the dark clouds above your head, you will reach the second heaven. The higher you go, the more dangerous it will be!
Behind him is a huge vortex, which is the way back.
Gu Xiaoxing looked around but did not see Chen Zili, as if he was used to being alone. As for the others , many of them had already flown to the second heaven. Everyone knew that after countless years of exploration by the Body Refining Sect, the first level might have been hollowed out long ago.
"Brother Youyuan." Zhang Dixin's voice rang in his ears, and then he saw him stepping out of the vortex behind him.
Gu Xiaoxing subconsciously took a big step back and saw the flashes of lightning in the vortex. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the lightning did not chase him out.
Immediately afterwards, two more figures stepped out from inside. Their hair stood on end and their bodies were charred black, obviously they were struck by lightning. As soon as they came out, they glared at Zhang Dixin fiercely, but in the end they endured it and did not make a move. They turned around and flew away, as if they had encountered a disaster.
Zhang Dixin ignored them, smiled at Gu Xiaoxing and the other two, and said, "How about you two join me?"
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky flashed with lightning, and thunder fell. Although it did not strike this side, Gu Xiaoxing still subconsciously took a step back and smiled awkwardly: "Haha... I don't think it's a big deal. It's better for each of us to find our own luck. Goodbye, Brother Zhang. See you again if we are destined to!"
Having said that, Gu Xiaoxing didn't wait for the other party to answer, and directly pulled Lu Linger away. Just like the two people before, he felt that in such a place where thunder was rolling, one must stay away from lightning-attracting bodies and disaster stars!
Zhang Dixin shook his head and smiled again, but this time he did not chase after him. He chose a direction and crossed over.
Leiyuntian is very large. Gu Xiaoxing has been wandering in the first heaven for a long time and has learned more and more about this place. Gradually, he is sure that this is an ancient battlefield. He encountered many floating corpses, none of which was complete. There were not only human corpses, but also animal corpses and even corpses of other races that he had never seen before.
Although these corpses are decayed, they are still alive after countless years. It can be imagined that this war must have been extremely grand and cruel, with countless powerful people participating.
However, there are really no treasures in the first heaven. Occasionally, you will encounter a thunder tree several meters high growing on the floating ruins. Lightning is moving on the branches of the tree, which looks magical, but the thunder cloud fruit it produces is not very good.
The reason why the Body Refining Sect needs this Thunder Cloud Fruit is not because it is some kind of magical fruit. On the contrary, the Thunder Cloud Fruit is a highly poisonous thing. The thunder poison contained in it is listed as one of the ten major poisons in the world. Once it attaches to the body, it is difficult to remove. If the toxin is concentrated enough, even if you are a powerful god, it can still electrocute you to the point of doubting your life.
However, lightning poison of that concentration cannot be condensed by the Thunder Cloud Fruit. Moreover, the Body Refining Sect collects Thunder Cloud Fruit not to poison others, but to refine the body!
They have a secret recipe, and with the help of a secret method, they can use this thunder poison to refine their bodies. The stronger the thunder poison, the better the effect. This is why the Body Refining Sect is willing to let them enter Leiyuntian, because the most important thunder cloud fruit in Leiyuntian is of little use to anyone else.
Using these thunder cloud fruits that are of little use to them to exchange for other opportunities that they might encounter in the thunder cloud sky is a good deal no matter how you look at it!
However, the thunder poison contained in the Thunder Cloud Fruit of the First Heaven is extremely weak. It is estimated that even the Body Refining Sect itself would not look down on it. At the same time, there are indeed no other good things.
The two of them walked around for most of the day, until the little girl pouted and started to mutter impatiently about going to the second heaven. Gu Xiaoxing suddenly looked at the little girl and said seriously: "Ling'er, today I want to teach you a lesson. No matter what time, you must put your own safety first. Don't be reckless, and don't be impatient."
"No matter what kind of fortune it is, the more amazing it is, the more likely it is a trap, so you have to be more careful in dealing with it. It's better not to shock the world than to put yourself in danger. Do you understand?"
Seeing how serious the little brother was, Lu Linger was stunned for a moment and forgot to answer for a moment.
Seeing the little girl's expression, Gu Xiaoxing became more serious and said, "Ling'er, you only have one life, and you can't live your life again. No matter when or what you do, you must make it a prerequisite to survive. Do you understand?"
Lu Linger blinked, her eyes were extremely innocent, but she said: "What if Linger has to kill little brother to survive? Should she kill him too?"
Gu Xiaoxing staggered and almost fell from the void. He knocked her head unhappily and said, "What do you think about in your little head all day? Can't you give a more refreshing example?"
Lu Linger covered her head in pain.
Not only Gu Xiaoxing, but even the coffin in his body was speechless. How could such a naive little girl ask such a heart-wrenching question? However, what made Coffin Master feel even more outrageous was that Gu Xiaoxing was actually thinking.
"Well...if this situation really happens..." Gu Xiaoxing looked thoughtful, then suddenly his face turned fierce and he said, "I will kill him too!"
"There's no hope for these two people...!" Mr. Coffin called them two weirdos.
Lu Linger was stunned.
"But I won't just stand there and let you kill me, huh... You want to attack me? You're still far away!" Gu Xiaoxing crossed his arms and looked at the little girl proudly.
However, the little girl was furious and said angrily: "You are lying, this person cannot be killed!"
"You know it, but you're still asking!" Gu Xiaoxing picked up the little girl and tickled her as punishment, making her giggle and shout "Ling'er is wrong, Ling'er is wrong!"
Gu Xiaoxing then let her go, and then waved his hand, saying: " Come on, Ling'er, follow me to the second heaven. Today, I will teach you another lesson. Although you can't kill your own people, if other people are threatened, you can kill as many as you can!"
"Yes, kill...!" When she heard that they were going to the second heaven, Lu Linger was very excited, like a little girl eager for adventure.
The two of them rose rapidly. Lu Linger had already reached the perfect stage of foundation building and was advancing at an extremely fast speed. Although Gu Xiaoxing was only in the middle stage of foundation building, ever since he had learned the Fangcun magical power from Guan Gu, after a few days, even though he had only mastered the basics, it was much easier for him to perform the Fangcun step, and he felt a bit like stepping on Fangcun.
According to the coffin, this magical power of a square inch is a great magical power. When it is cultivated to perfection, the sun, moon and stars can be held in the palm of the hand. Although Gu Xiaoxing thinks it is exaggerated, he has to admit that the more he studies this magical power, the more magical and extraordinary he feels it is!
The dark clouds were right above their heads, but the two of them felt like they were running towards the mountain and then dying. With their speed, it took them an hour to get under the clouds. They really flew tens of thousands of miles along the way.
The dark cloud in front of us is also a thundercloud, but the lightning in it is not as dense as that in the channel outside.
When the two men passed through the thick thundercloud and rushed into the second heaven, they immediately felt that the energy in the space was far more violent than that of the first heaven. There was still a thundercloud above their heads, with lightning flashing continuously, and the thunder that fell was also more than that of the first heaven.
Gu Xiaoxing and the other man looked at each other, found a direction and began to stroll in the second heaven. He still remembered what the owner of the medicine shop said, that there was the Heavenly Thunder Blood Crystal in the thundercloud sky, so he searched very seriously, not only looking with his eyes, but also scanning with his spiritual sense, at a very fast speed, and he could take in everything he passed by at a glance.
